well the temporary custody hearing was the other day and my brother received standard visitation. well he saw his 3 week old little girl for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday. before the "mother" ran off with her, she was jaundice and my brother said she still looked really bad, and was "underfed" looking and had scratches all over her face. his ex wife told him that the baby was so stressed out over the whole deal that she wasn't gaining any weight, but you cant take her to the dr. without contacting me first! in the first week she was at home, the baby put on a half a pound, the 2 weeks shes been gone his ex wife says shes put on 3 oz. so can he legally take her to the dr. without telling the mother what hes doing?

I dont see why you would need to tell the mother you were taking the child to the doctor. If there is something wrong going on do not hesitate!!!! I have never heard of it being illegal to take a child to the doctor!!

If no formal legal custody has been establised, normally both parents have equal rights. Why would he not want the BM present at this appt and why does he not feel it would not be beneficial for both parents to take part in their child's medical care? He should call BM and let her know that he is taking the baby to the Dr., let her know where the appt is and give her the option of attending. I believe she has the right as the child's parent to be aware of what is going on. Also, if she choses not to attend the appt, it is the NCP's responsibilty to give the CP an update on the child's condition. It's called LEGAL CUSTODIAL RIGHTS whether you are the CP or NCP!!!!!!
Just my opinion.

Re: ncp
I suggest that you take a good look at the temporary orders because those orders should state the rights, duties and obligation of the parents at all times, during periods of possession and exclusive rights.
The scratch marks are from the baby's fingernails. Fingernail clippers will prevent this and mittens which can be purchased at most any discount house should be used. If the father hasn't looked over the hospital chart on the baby, I suggest that he does so. The same doctor should be treating the baby. Too many cooks spoil the soup and too many doctors who have no knowledge of other doctors can inadvertently do more harm to the patient than good.
I presume that all your brothers concerns were brought up at the temporary hearing "the other day" and you have the court's ruling.

yeah i know the scratchmarks are from her fingernails, i have my own child. the point is, the mother has no concern to do anything about it. and as for the orders pertaining to his rights, his attorney said he wouldn't receive them till the final custoday hearing. AND as for the medical records, they would not give them to him because the mother told them not to let him have them.

As the childs father, he has just as much a right to his childs medical records as the mother does. Unless there is a court order barring him from seeing the medical records, it's against the law for any doctor, hospital or clinic to deny him those records.
This is the statute for OK
§10-5.2. <http://www2.lsb.state.ok.us/os/os_10-5.2.rtf> Certain information and records to be available to both custodial and noncustodial parent.
Any information or any record relating to a minor child which is available to the custodial parent of the child, upon request, shall also be provided the noncustodial parent of the child. Provided, however, that this right may be restricted by the court, upon application, if such action is deemed necessary in the best interests of the child. For the purpose of this section, "information" and "record" shall include, but not be limited to, information and records kept by the school, physician and medical facility of the minor child.

I would think so. I would worry something was medically wrong or she's not feeding her.
